just thought it may be fun/interesting to see how many red telephone boxes are still in use on the Wirral, so snap away and include location and try not to duplicate.

i'll start it off, princess boulevard in Higher Bebington

corner of portland street, albion street and montpellier crescent, new brighton. (no pic but here's a google streetview link)

Any of these still in Wirral, last sawone over ten years ago in Barnston - was replaced for no real reason

Stavordale Road, Moreton, just by the old heights.

Or maybe one of these

Some interest here,

Outside Birkenhead Park main entrance

Pair of K6 Telephone Kiosks at
corner with Duncan Street

silly question
If you sheltered in one of these when it was thunder and lightning and it was struck by lightning could you be killed?

Slowly being removed wont be many left soon.

19FRANK40 its about phone boxes not post boxes mate

I think a lot of the K6's now have listed status and can't be removed or swopped for the modern crappy shower cubicles.

@derekdwc... not a silly question at all. They sit on and are in contact with a cast iron concrete filled base. A pretty good earth. The kiosk being mostly metal - apart from the teak door (when not stolen) would also act as a partial Faraday cage. If I was caught out in a storm with lightning close by, I'd make a dive into a phone box pronto - assuming I could find one. Don't touch the frame though!

Of course, you could buy a K6 and bung it in the garden!

Bromborough Pool

why are the doors always missing?

i wouldn't mind restoring one of those K6 boxes and putting an old phone in it.

A lot of doors are stolen (see a prev.post) as they have a teak frame. Also, I think BT remove some doors to use on listed boxes elsewhere.

Is there still one by Green Lane?

yes its still there

Teehay lane, Bebington, Outside the Smorgasbord. http://goo.gl/maps/0aXkZ

worth a fortune, especially restored.

There were two in that Lower Castle Street opposite the Queen Victoria Monument. One was huge and was some sort of prototype. Gone now.

There is one inside Woodside Ferry Terminal !

Hoylake is full of them, nearly everyone is still red. Even one at the junction of Birkenhead Road and Heron Road, Meols

The designer/architect also built the Liverpool Anglican cathedral- there is a telephone box in there.'His smallest design within his largest'.

Not quite: when he was appointed as the architect of the cathedral in 1903 at the tender age of twenty two, Giles Gilbert Scott admitted that so far his only design to be constructed had been a pipe-rack.

There is one in Wallasey Village by Sheridans (The Black Horse) with its door missing - I think it's still there anyway

Theres one at Murphys scrap yard on Corporation Road, iv tried a few times to buy it from him but he wants to keep it for a bit.

You can actually see it when you drive past, needs a bit of upgrading though I think some of the glass has been smashed

The number for the one in Meols is apparently referenced in a song. And no, it isn't "In The Morning" by "The Coral" I saw one locally a couple of weeks ago so I'll take a picture and post it on here tomorrow if I can remember where it was

Cherry Tree Road in Moreton. But more impressively on the second image (sorry it's sideways) the door is still intact!

Saw one today on Liverpool Road, Chester High Road end. Couldn`t stop for a photo. Looks like it needs a good clean.

Platform 4b Chester station.
